Lyrics

They were strolling in the gloaming
When the roses were in bloom
A soldier and his sweetheart brave and true
Their hearts were filled with sorrow
Cause they knew unto tomorrow
She must go away to join the boys of blue
Do not ask me, Love, to linger
For you know not what you say
When duty calls your boys names again
And your heart be crying
If I be among the dying
I'll be with you when the Roses bloom again
When the Roses Bloom again beside the River
And the robin red breast sings his sweet refrain
In the Days of Auld Lang Syne
I'll be with you Sweetheart mine
I'll be with you when the Roses bloom again
-Instrumentals-
With the rattle of the battle
Came a whisper soft and low
From soldier who had been wounded in the fray
I am dying, I captain dying and I know I have to go
But won't you promise where I pass away
There's a far and distant river
Where the Roses are in bloom
And a little girl is waiting all in vain
Thats counts your heart be dying
If I be among the dying
I'll be with you when the Roses bloom again
When the Roses Bloom again beside the River
And the robin red breast sings his sweet refrain
In the Days of Auld Lang Syne
I'll be with you Sweetheart mine
I'll be with you when the Roses bloom again
I'll be with you when the Roses bloom again
